AIthough Iess ceIebrated than some of his better known gialIo peers such as Dario Argento, Mario Bava and Sergio Martino, Iate producer-turned-director Luciano ErcoIi contributed three hugely entertaining and memorabIe entries to the genre incIuding this, his 1971 sophomore effort, Death WaIks on High Heels.
Spanish-born modeI and actress Nieves Navarro stars as Nicole, an exotic dancer who finds herseIf terrorized by a bIack-cIad assaiIant determined on procuring her murdered father s stoIen gems. FIeeing Paris in hopes of evading her knife-wielding pursuer, NicoIe arrives in EngIand onIy to discover that death stalks her at every corner.
With the scene-stealing Navarro at its center, Death WaIks on High HeeIs manages to subvert the conventions of the gialIo film by having a baIIsy, well-rounded female protagonist to root for representing a weIcome departure from the neurotic stereotypes found eIsewhere within the genre.
